# Get started with Leaflet
This Quickstart Leaflet example is the easiest and fastest way to use your MapTiler maps in Leaflet JS. Simply use the code below the map.
1. Copy the following code, paste it into your favorite text editor, and save it as a `.html` file.
```html
Display a map
```
1. Install the npm package.
```bash
npm install --save leaflet
```
2. Include the CSS file.
If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can [`import`](#) the CSS or include it with a [``](#) in the head of the document via the CDN
```js
import "leaflet/dist/leaflet.css";
```
```html
```
3. Include the following code in your JavaScript file (Example: main.js).
```js
import L from 'leaflet';
const key = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
const map = L.map('map').setView([49.2125578, 16.62662018], 14); //starting position
L.tileLayer(`https://api.maptiler.com/maps/streets-v4/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=${key}`,{ //style URL
tileSize: 512,
zoomOffset: -1,
minZoom: 1,

crossOrigin: true
}).addTo(map);
```
1. Replace `YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE` with [your own API key](https://cloud.maptiler.com/account/keys/). Make sure to [secure the key](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/credentials/api-key/#secure-key) before you publish it.
2. The next is up to you. You can center your map wherever you desire (modifying the `starting position`) and set an appropriate zoom level (modifying the `starting zoom`) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating the `source URL`); choose from a range of visually appealing map styles from our extensive [MapTiler standard maps](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/), or create your own to truly differentiate your application.
